Roman Catholicism is the predominant religion in Latin America, largely due to the Spanish and Portuguese colonization that began in the 15th and 16th centuries. Over 90% of people in many countries still identify as Catholic today, although Protestantism is growing. The Catholic Church played a key role in the colonization process by establishing missions and converting Indigenous populations.
